Their debut came at home to Denbigh Town Ladies and the team playing their first competitive match played well in a 7-0 defeat.

A club spokesman, said: "For the team the focus is clearly on developing over the coming weeks as they come to terms with playing competitive games on a regular basis and develop as a team under the leadership of Rebekah Hansen and Damian Hughes."
